Local Sales Of Hillary Clinton Book Off To Slow Start
Memoir Reveals Account On President Clinton's Affair
POSTED: 7:02 p.m. PDT June 9, 2003 UPDATED: 7:03 p.m. PDT June 9, 2003
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's new autobiography went on sale Monday morning.
In New York, people lined up for as long as 14 hours waiting to have Clinton autograph their copy of her new book. But in Bakersfield, the sounds of ringing cash registers was not as loud.
Sales started out slowly at Russo's Bookstore.
Valerie Lewis of Russo's Books said, "We were anticipating more of a rush but our community takes a little time to get going and then it really hits."
A few people got their copy of "Living History" to read up on Clinton's eight-year stint as America's First Lady.
Customer Bernice Bonillas said, "I'm a Hilary Clinton fan. There's been so much hype on the news I just wanted to make sure -- be sure I get one."
Clinton's account on her husband's affairs may be the book's hottest selling points.
Clinton received an $8 million paycheck for writing the book.
There is also speculation that she is aiming for an even bigger benefit -- a 2008 presidential bid.
For some Bakersfield residents, the latest media blitz on the New York senator's life seems to have bogged down any interest.
"I've been hearing enough on the TV about it and I think I already have an idea on what it's about," said one customer.
Meanwhile, one customer bought a book on a completely different political figure -- President George W. Bush.
"It's a birthday present for my son who's a political science professor and a Democrat. He has to teach both sides so I thought this book called, 'Made In Texas,' gives a different view of Bush," one customer told KERO.
The hardback version of "Living History" costs about $28. A seven-hour audio version of the book is also available in stores.

How much you want to bet that HBO, Disney and all the big lib corporations buy up tons of this book and give them away free in promotions.

More appropriately it should be entitled "Lying History". I am sick of hearing about this despicable witch.

I don't know about anyone else as far as I'm concerned I loved her 8 years in the White House and I was so relieved to see them go, I sure don't want to open old wounds by reading her book.

The only error in your humerous cartoon picture is that it depicts Hitlery and Bill in the same bed -- which I doubt has happened since Chelsea was conceived.

8 people bought Hillary's book? What a readership in California GOP country, LOL! I think they'll have a tough time selling it out even with the book tours, signings, and TV interviews. As well as the discounts. I mean what has the woman said about life we don't know already? And when you flip to the back of the book, there's nothing in there about her Senate years. Puhleeaze...

I can't imagine this book will do very well in Bakersfield, or anywhere in the Central Valley of California. This is Bush country.
